The Spin

Pro-establishment narrative

Opening the path for Bosnia and Herzegovina to become a member state is a historic breakthrough in EU enlargement policy, which will benefit Bosnian citizens and promote political stability in the Western Balkans. As Moscow has stepped up propaganda in the region, the EU must speed up its enlargement process to protect the unity of Europe.

Narrative B

Granting Bosnia and Herzegovina EU candidate status is a geopolitical move, but above all, it's a mistake that will damage the bloc's reputation, as the country is unlikely to be able to assume the responsibilities of an eventual membership. EU enlargement policy should serve, not to appease with corrupt politicians, but rather to push for democracy and rule of law.
